The main reason I decided to spend extra money was to get a quality RW. So far, my software continues to tell me that these are not RW’s. This kills the whole reason I bought them. I’d send them back, but at this point it has been a few months and I don’t have all of the packaging. I should have tried them out sooner. Sadly, with lots of great reviews, I just assumed they’d work. Lesson learned.

I have heard all the good things about Verbatim DL DVDs so I bought a 50 Pack to use for my recordings. When I try to use them in my brand new LG GSA-E60L DVD Burner (that supports virtually every format including DVD+R DL), it does not recognize them as valid media. If I could give them zero stars, I would

It took a long time for me to receive any kind of order confirmation. The delivery took took more than two weeks.

Let me start out by saying that I could NEVER burn a Memorex or any brand DL disk when using an IDE DVD burner (tried 3 different brands of burner). Single layer was fine. I’m not sure why, but I’m guessing there was some limitations in the IDE bus on my motherboard and it was corrupting the data when it came to DL disks. My computer would freeze for a moment and then I’d get an error message of some sort. I tried dozens of different burning software and nothing worked until going to a SATA drive. So if your having trouble burning DL disks try upgrading to a SATA DVD burner.
I finally got a basic level LG SATA drive and all my problems were solved. I’ve yet to have a bad burn or any coasters that were caused by a bad disk. These Memorex work fine for me and I’ve used both the 8x and 2.4x versions. I don’t notice any difference between the quality of burn with the 8x vs the 2.4x. All the disks work in my PS3 perfectly. I obviously prefer the 8x due to the time difference it takes to burn a disk but you can get the 2.4x cheaper so I tend to buy them. I also believe that a slower burn will give you a better burned DVD that is likely to have less issues when playing back. But, like I said I haven’t had any issues with the 8x and the PS3.
I don’t think for long term storage of critical data you would want to use a DL disk due to it being more complex in nature and more likely to have issues or fail as it ages. For pure data backups, I use Taiyo Yunden DVD-Rs.

Most of my experience with blank DVD media has been with stand-alone DVD Recorders. I have purchased seven (7) DVD recorders in the last 3 years. I have tried virtually every available brand of blank media, from the cheap generics to the supposed “best” like Verbatim. I have followed the user manuals/instructions on which types of media are “compatible” with what recorders (of course they have disclaimers telling you to check with “your Hardware Manufacturer” or “your Blank Media Manufacturer” for further instruction and further blame if things go wrong. Due to a lot of variables with hardware, software and the stupid-human factor, not one type of disk works with one type of drive ALL the TIME. I don’t really expect perfection, although the Verbatim -R 16X 100 spindle is very very close. THE BOTTOM LINE IS that The real problem is lack of consistency with MOST blank media manufacturers, particularly VERBATIM and MEMOREX. I’ve simply stopped buying Memorex, because of an intolerable failure rate (easily 75%). However, I’ve hesitated writing-off VERBATIM because of the success I’ve had with their -R single layers. I purchased a 25 pack (spindle) of Verbatim +R DL’s from Amazon last year and the first 12 burns failed. For some odd masochistic reason, I continued to try them, and the remaining 13 disks burned just fine! Big dummy that I am, I bought TWO more 25 pack spindles of the +R DLs. I am over halfway through the first one with not a single successful burn, all coasters.
This is why DVD recorders have not (and never will) supplant VHS or hard drive recorders for the home market: IT IS NOT A MATURE, DEPENDABLE TECHNOLOGY or PRODUCT.
My BIGGER CONCERN is that we seem to be accepting an outrageously high rate of problems & failure in our high-tech components, especially those for the home market. As someone once said, not too long ago, if the American Auto industry had as many problems with its product as the tech industry, we would be having congressional investigations & special prosecutors. Of course whoever said that wasn’t anticipating BILLION DOLLAR BAILOUTS, either. — end rant–.
